• Abstract: There is a growing need to deploy machine learning for different tasks on a wide array of new hardware platforms. Such deployment scenarios require tackling multiple challenges, including identifying a model architecture that can achieve a suitable predictive accuracy (architecture search), and finding an efficient implementation of the model to satisfy underlying hardware-specific systems constraints such as latency (system optimization search). Existing works treat architecture search and system optimization search as separate problems and solve them sequentially. In this paper, we instead propose to solve these problems jointly, and introduce a simple but effective baseline method called SONAR that interleaves these two search problems. SONAR aims to efficiently optimize for predictive accuracy and inference latency by applying early stopping to both search processes. Our experiments on multiple different hardware back-ends show that SONAR identifies nearly optimal architectures 30 times faster than a brute force approach.

  Existing methods often perform an independent architecture search process for each target budget. We propose a Neural Architecture Generator (PNAG) which only needs to be trained once and dynamically produces the optimal architecture for any given budget via inference. Such a joint search algorithm not only greatly reduces the overall search cost but also improves the results.

  We study a new challenging problem of efficient deployment for diverse tasks with different resources, where the resource constraint and task of interest corresponding to a group of classes are dynamically specified at testing time. Previous NAS approaches seek to design architectures for all classes simultaneously, which may not be optimal for some individual tasks. We present a novel and general framework, called Elastic Architecture Search (EAS), permitting instant specializations at runtime for diverse tasks with various resource constraints.
